Fun Fact #26:

It is a common misconception that animals can only see in black-and-white. While they do not have as many color receptors as humans, most animals can perceive blues and yellows, along with certain animals being able to see in different color spectrums or have far more color receptors than humans. Butterflies have six different color receptors, meaning that they can see colors we can't possibly think of!

Fun Fact #35:

Poppy seeds, despite being cleaned when processed for human consumption, can still contain traces of opiates and morphine. If you eat a slice of poppy seed cake within 12-24 hours of a drug test, you can still test positive for things like morphine and heroin.

Doesn't cover you if you've been taking other drugs, though…

Fun Fact #36:

(Note: I used the most recent Phantom Of The Opera movie for this) The phantom uses around 31,360 candles per year and he's been living under the opera house for around 25 years so in total he's used around 784,000 candles.
